ART students have been soaking up Parisian culture during a college trip.
Forty five students from Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, in Darlington, spent four days in the French capital.
They spent their time sketching and viewing famous art works in the Picasso Museum, the Pompidou Centre and the Louvre.
Student Jennifer Peacock, 17, from Darlington, said: "It was enjoyable and I learned a lot.
"Drawing at speed in my notebook to capture experiences was challenging and really helped to improve my technique.
"I was particularly interested in the Louvre. Its collections and architecture and in particular the way it brings together both the old and the new were all fascinating."
